Since I never have used the router attachment for my Dremel, I decided to use the "nut" from it. Here I am just cutting it to a length.
Superglue (yes, superglue) to aluminum and clamped in the Sherline vise. It can't get any simpler then that!
Here is the first cut, the hole for the round "nut" in the first picture. This way I don't mess up the threads on the Dremel.
The outer portion is being cut here. I used a 3.57 mm (9/64") endmill cutting 1 mm passes mostly dry (some WD-40 used)
All done!
Drilling out the hole for the clamping screw.
Since I never use my boring tool, I figured I'd give it a shot. Neat but not needed.
Here you go! I used a 1.58mm (1/16") fishtail router to do the little line...nice.
Same piece but now making the "base."
All done, drilling it out. The spacing for the K2 is 64mm. Inches? You do the math :)
Here you can see the mounting plate being flattened using the flycutter.
All done.. ready to go.
Full view. Tomorrow I will make a top support for it. Then it will be one NICE setup!
Here we are. Nice. I can sway it a little since the holder is still plastic. No play in the mount.
Close up.
The quality of the Dremel is not up to par. The bearing mount and output shaft have way to much play. It's "ok" for wood, fine for light plastic and foam but for aluminum...no no.
